Physical symptoms of postpartum depression?

Question

I am about 5 months postpartum and have been constantly back and fourth to the dr's and ER because I am constantly feeling like crap everyday. Dizziness, vision changes, nausea, headaches, backaches, feeling like I'm going to pass out, exhaustion, confusion, racing heart, stomach pains.. the list goes on.. I do have postpartum Hypertension but my blood pressure is finally starting to regulate and My meds have been lowered significantly. After 5 months of constant dr and ER visits, all tests & cat scans always coming back normal, no medical professional said it could be postpartum depression untill last night, when I went to a new hospital..the nurse immediately mentioned it and the dr said the same thing and suggested I aggressively seek treatment. Has anyone ever experienced these PHYSICAL symptoms and it turning out to be postpartum depression? Any similar stores?

Answer

All of that and more. I have severe body pain now. Still going to see two specialists- neurologist and rheumatologist to rule some more
Things out but  every doctor I’ve seen so far tells me it’s depression / stress etc. I am having a very hard time believing it can cause physical symptoms THIS strong. Anxiety in the past has caused me some symptoms - especially the panic attacks obviously. but nothing like what I’m feeling now. 
How are you doing now? Have you started antidepressants? I’m afraid to try them

Answer

Yes!!! 6 months pp and was diagnosed with ppd and had anxiety before getting pregnant and have all of these...

Answer

I haven’t personally but PPD and any kind of depression/anxiety can manifest physical symptoms especially if you are mentally drained. It will start to cause physical symptoms and problems. It can’t hurt to ask a doctor about it and see what treatment plan can be worked out.
